hehe i love how kindly amateur your filming setup is. it's still a super good and informative video! you dont need fancy equipment to make a good video :)
It’s miraculous how well the specimens preserved! I look forward to seeing what other articulated remains from this site get published on in the future.
You'd be doing yourself a favor by not aiming the camera at a light that's right behind your head. A better mic wouldn't hurt, either. Tell the truth, your delivery could be improved a bit, too, but mostly, it's that light, right where the viewer is looking that's a problem. Who wants to stare at a light for fifteen minutes? It'd work better if the camera was level with your head, and your head should fill more of the frame. Oh, and relax...you shouldn't need to raise your voice to be heard clearly...listening to a raised voice for long can tire the listener. Just speak normally and adjust your volume after, if it's too faint. Interesting subject; never heard of the critter before...but I haven't paid as much attention to paleontology as I could have...and sharks aren't a high-interest animal for me, either.
I appreciate the insightful feedback and advice! It was a makeshift setup at a place that wasn’t mine, and I don’t have a background with making videos; I will be trying to improve my quality of visuals and overall execution as I get more experience with content creation. While I love the science, I understand that good audio and visuals are necessary to better engage with audiences; thank you for sharing!
Wonderful presentation--clear and relatable and especially informative to this paleo shark neophyte! Great job Ben!
Thank you; I appreciate the kind words!

I really appreciate it; the science should come first!
It's cool that there was a pelagic predator that has specialized for hard shell organisms, unlike typically seen in benthic predators
Agreed! Ptychodus was a truly unique genus
Great content, mind bending fossils

Fucking rad
Thank you!
